The concept
After the mobile phone is paired once with the
vehicle, the mobile phone can be operated using
the iDrive, the steering wheel buttons and spo‐
ken instructions.
A paired mobile phone is automatically detected
as soon as it is located inside the vehicle, when
the ignition is switched on.
Up to four mobile phones can be paired.
Using the mobile phone while driving
Make entries only when traffic and road
conditions allow. Do not hold the mobile phone
in your hand while you are driving; use the
hands-free system instead. If you do not ob‐
serve this precaution, you can endanger the ve‐
hicle occupants and other road users.◀
Snap-in adapter*
The snap-in adapter is used to:
▷ Hold the mobile phone.
▷ Recharge the battery.
▷ Connect the mobile phone to an outside an‐
tenna of the vehicle.
This provides for better network reception
and consistent sound quality.

phones containing a Bluetooth interface are
